Shack cleared to travel up F3

THE PIRTEK PARRAMATTA EELS received a boost today with in-form prop Shane Shackleton cleared of any major damage to his right eye, with medical staff confirming he is likely to be fit for this Saturday's clash in Newcastle.

Shackleton suffered a corneal abrasion resulting from a direct blow to the eye in last night's match against Cronulla. He has recovered well overnight and is expected to take his place in the lineup.
